Jewellery Expert Reveals Cost of Ellidy Pullin’s Taylor Swift-Inspired Ring

Ellidy Pullin has shared the happy news that she is engaged to her partner, Brock Wadsworth.

The 34-year-old Gold Coast influencer and podcast host is now wearing a dazzling engagement ring that appears to come with a sizeable price tag, according to a jewellery specialist.

Wedding and engagement ring expert Nilesh Rakholia, founder of Abelini jewellers, examined the eye-catching piece and offered an estimate on its impressive value.

The ring features an elongated cushion-cut diamond set in a yellow-gold bezel design, a style that closely resembles the sparkling piece pop superstar Taylor Swift received from her now-husband, Travis Kelce, when they became engaged in 2025.

According to Nilesh, the main diamond is likely to be in the region of five carats.

It features what appears to be a high-quality natural diamond, putting the ring at a value of $250,000 to $350,000.

If the diamond was lab-grown, Nilesh estimates a visually comparable ring could be worth around $7,000 to $12,000.

‘It’s a beautiful ring, and very wearable. The elongated cushion gives you the softness of a traditional cushion cut, but with more length through the finger, so it feels substantial without looking overly square or heavy,’ Nilesh says. 

For Nilesh, the bezel setting is the most distinctive part of the design and makes the ring comfortable for daily wear. 

‘Rather than claws holding the diamond at individual points, the gold follows the outline of the stone,’ he said. 

‘It gives the ring a much cleaner silhouette and also protects the edge of the diamond more effectively, which makes sense for something you’re going to wear every day.’

Nilesh says he is not surprised to see another high-profile engagement ring use a bezel setting after Taylor Swift kickstarted the trend.

‘Taylor Swift’s engagement ring helped put bezels back into the mainstream conversation,’ he said.

‘The appeal is easy to understand. People want engagement rings that feel a little less formulaic, but still practical enough for everyday wear. A bezel gives you both.’ 

He continued: ‘Ellidy’s ring is a really good example of why bezel settings are having a moment. 

‘The elongated cushion gives you the scale, the yellow gold adds warmth and the bezel keeps the whole thing clean and distinctive.

‘It photographs beautifully, but more importantly it looks like a ring someone could live in.’ 

Abelini is a high-end jeweller with locations in Australia and the United Kingdom,  specialising in high-quality diamond and gemstone jewellery, including an array of wedding and engagement rings.
